Default Anyone ever have to have battery pack moved?

Just happened to notice my lower back after drying myself off from my shower, and it looks like one of my battery packs has shifted. The one on my right side (lumbar SCS) still feels like it's snug, laying flat in my upper hip, but the one on my left (cervical SCS) is looking like it's really sticking out and isn't flat. Could this be why it's harder to charge than the other...the charging unit has a hard time holding a connection with the battery as it starts beeping at the slightest movement I make? The other battery unit holds the charging unit on just fine until it's fully recharged.

How does one know if/when it's nec. to go in and reimplant the battery pack? Will there be a lot of scar tissue to deal with if they have to go in? It's been in me since 8/10. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions???

Thanks.
Fiona
